Cruise shuttle question from Venice City Center Tronchetto

Posted by on

I have my Royal Caribbean shuttle booked from Venice to Ravenna at 9am from City Center Tronchetto. We are staying near St Mark's Square but our hotel is down a small canal that requires an extra fee to reach. That makes it a bit more expensive. So I was hoping to take a vaporetto. I have read that taking the people mover was required to reach the proper platform. But looking at a map there appear to be vaporetto stops. It seems it would be much easier to get to the shuttle with one form of transportation and not have to drag luggage around quite so far.

Is it possible to take the vaporetto directly to the correct area for the shuttle avoiding the people mover?

Does the vaporetto run consistently enough to take it to the Tronchetto at that time of day?

There are two Tronchetto docks served by the No 2 boat, Tronchetto Mercato and Tronchetto "B". They are on either side of the people mover. The No 2 boat goes every 12 minutes from San Zaccaria "B" dock beginning at 6:13 am and takes 31 minutes to get to Tronchetto "B", and Tronchetto Mercato 2 minutes later. So yes, taking a vaporetto will work just fine. I have found that they operate very reliably.

There are several vaporetto stops near Tronchetto. You will need to know exactly where the shuttle will be to determine which stop is best.

Whether you can take the Vaporetto “directly” depends on where your hotel is. Only line 2 and the night line go to Tronchetto. You may need to transfer. There is an app called Che Bateo? For the vaporetto. They are very reliable. You will be traveling at rush hour, so they may be crowded.
